There's an element that just about every good game has. A type of enemy that genuinely puts you on edge. You see or hear it coming, your grip tightens, your jaw clenches and you say to yourself "Oh *BLEEP!*" What I'm wondering is what do you think is the biggest and baddest of these heavy hitting enemies to date?
1. Bioshock Big Daddy: You're trapped underwater in a city run by a objectivist megalomaniac who's let the city fall to the deranged genetically twisted anarchists that now populate it. It's a place where at any moment some lunatic may come running at you to blast you, bash your head in, or gut you with a rusty metal hook. Suddenly, that's when you hear it, that low moan and the heavy, thunderous step of a large, nasty creature clad in a filthy diving suit, carrying a mining auger or a rivet gun, the Big Daddy.
2. Left 4 Dead Tank: Your running out of breath as you and three other survivors of a biological disaster are making your frantic, hurried rush for escape. The infected could jump out at you from anywhere. You emerge from an alleyway and start to cross a parking lot, when without warning, the ground starts shaking, and you hear a furious roar. climbing over the top of a jack-knifed mac semi is a massive infected, snarling and howling, throwing furniture-sized chunks of pavement at you and looking to pound you into roadkill, the Tank.
3. Halflife Antlion Guard: As Gordon Freeman, you and your fellow resistance members are fighting a desperate battle against the oppressive Combine for the freedom of Earth. But the soldiers of the combine aren't your only concern. In your travels, as you pick your way through the places where alien species have come to dominate the land, you dread the sight of one massive creature smashing through a wall or barricade, looking to trample you so its smaller friends can pick at your struggling body. It's wild, it's untamed, and it's pissed off, the Antlion Guard.
4. Resident Evil 4 Dr. Salvador: As Leon Kennedy, you've found yourself in a hostile village, trying to rescue the American president's daughter. You're being chased by bloodthirsty villagers, their bodies taken over by a parasite. You barricade yourself in a house, when you hear a harsh, mechanical braying sound. Through the crowd of murderous villagers comes one with a burlap sack over his head, carrying a blood-splattered chainsaw, Dr. Salvador.
5) Other: If you've got any enemy from another game that struck you in this manner, let's hear it; but one rule: it can't be a one-time boss from a game, it has to be an enemy that appeared more than once.
